This is why Trump AND the Senate Republicans are a danger to all Americans:
They’ve allowed a man with no medical degree, medical training, or medical experience to be the federal government’s mouthpiece on health issues.

Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
"I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp.
Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists.

Here are two straightforward and incontrovertible statements of law about Mahmoud Khalil:

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

For the vast majority of above-ground public protests “don’t bring your phone” is actually bad security advice. You are much more likely to need your phone to call for help or document police aggression than you are to be arrested later cuz your phone pinged a cell tower near the raging grannies

The ordinance easily passed the City Council last night and Mayor Smiley said he won't veto it
